James Flames, one of my favorite local poster artists, is mounting a big Raleigh show this week. Check him out, from his blog:

I’m very proud to announce my first solo gallery exhibition, “Long Live”, at Amplified Art Gallery in Raleigh, NC! The opening reception is Saturday, November 20th at 6pm, and the exhibit will stay up until December 10. We’ve had this in the works for awhile now, and it’s very exciting to finally announce it

I will debut two new prints made special for the show, and on display will be a large selection of my poster work, including some original artwork, rare variants, and many sold out editions – all for sale. And there will be some other special stuff that I’ll announce before the show.

Amplified Art is a gallery specializing in the finest in gig posters – I visited last week, and it’s a pretty amazing place. I mean, a gallery dedicated to posters? It’s like heaven. I’m honored to be showing there. They’re at 224 East Martin Street in the City Market section of Raleigh, so if you’re in the area, stop by! 

Flames’ art work is amazing. Check it out. And follow him on Facebook to keep up with a cool mural he’s painting as part of the show.
